Linux has both positives and negatives about how it's distributed. On one hand Linux is used along with customized open source projects to custom tailor a OS to a specific task. It's why servers seem to work well with it. But on the desktop the fragmentation of open source projects is a plus and a minus. Yes, you have plenty to choose from in distributions of Linux based OS. From enterprise popular Red Hat to consumer rated Ubuntu and Mint. Lot's of spin offs in between and that is really the Achilles heal. The marketing is dreadful for a person seeking out a distro to try. In fact it's another reason you really don't see Linux based PC's being sold in retail in any large numbers. Probably the closest to a Linux PC sold in retail is the Chromebook's. Chrome OS is Linux kernel based with a Google user interface (Basically Chrome browser). That's well and good but it left out the best parts of Linux. The easy hardware swapping, the large application access, and the openness of what Linux should be. It's why a lot of Linux purists won't even acknowledge Chrome OS. Yes, Linux has certainly been around but it's legacy for reaching big numbers on the desktop has never evolved very far. Unix a distant relative of Linux runs on Mac's with OSX or now MacOS. It's popularity was achived because of Apple. If only Linux to gain some sort of commercial success that has so far eluded it.

Good.
So it is time to cheers.
